Switzerland
no way!

Venezuela
not a "living wage": 5¢/l petrol, free or subsidized housing, free or subsidized staple foods; income testing and employment constraints unknown

Finland
Finland's basic income findings: More happiness, but no effect on employment
not a "living wage": € 560/mo

Kamala?! Campaign2020 demo
Kamala Harris's new basic income-style bill is so frustratingly close to being great
(formerly titled, "Kamala Harris tax cut plan: the LIFT Act, explained - Vox" )

[not a "living wage":]Single people would get $250 per month or $3,000 a year, married couples would get $500 per month or $6,000 a year, and it would phase out for singles without kids making $50,000 or more, and for married couples or single people with kids making $100,000 or more.

compared to "anti-poverty programs"

recipients must be working and earning at least $3,000 (or $6,000 for couples) a year to get the full benefit. If you make $0, you get $0 in benefits.
